Under President Obama, Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats. That's some legacy.

Yea, but they don't need the Democratic party anymore.
The Dems aren't at all concerned with this. They are keeping their powder dry and saving all of their ammo for a giant push next year to get Hillary elected president.
They have made the calculation that a Hillary presidency will result in two and possibly three Supreme Court appointments, which will accomplish several things for them:
1. Effective annulment of the Second Amendment, opening the door for gun confiscation
2. Permanently cementing casual abortion on demand as one of the most sacred sacraments of the land.
3. Protecting public sector paychecks and pensions from any attempt at reduction and reform.
4. Massive empowerment of the EPA to regulate and run private property.
These things mean ever so much more to the Dems. And there are only about 30-50 counties in the U.S. whose outcomes will actually be up for grabs in a way to determine who wins the election. The Dems, along with their IT industry and financial industry oligarch supporters, are prepared to spend a billion or more dollars in those three or four dozen counties in advertising, community activism, and outright bribes to make Hillary president.
Good job winning these state elections but the Dems don't even care. They are swinging for the fences.

Let them have the big cities states as long you get 3/4th of the rest of the country. Make it the long march of the abolitionists (the hell with tea).
All links available in the Powerline post. Click on the headline to go there.
[PowerlineBlog] On October 23 the Wall Street Journal published the page-one story by Adam Entous on the United States’ intelligence activities directed against Israel. Given the headline “Spy vs. spy: Inside the fraying U.S.-Israel ties” (accessible here via Google), the story was full of revelations including measures taken by the United States to deter Israeli military action against Iran. Entous works the national security beat at the Journal, and his story reflects sources in the American defense and intelligence communities.
I haven’t seen any good commentary on the article until today. Caroline Glick’s Jerusalem Post column draws on Entous’s article to preview the coming “Showdown at the OK Corral” between Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu.
Glick’s column also draws on Yigal Carmon’s analysis of the state of the Iran deal. Carmon observes that, from Iran’s side, it’s not a done deal. (John wrote about Carmon’s analysis here.) Yet word of Iran’s conditional acceptance/rejection of the deal has not made dent here or elsewhere outside Iran.
“Given the US media’s failure to report that Khamenei rejected the nuclear pact,” Glick writes, “it is a fair bet that Obama will be able to maintain the fiction that Iran is implementing the deal in good faith until the day he leaves office.”
Glick’s column draws a reasonable conclusion from Entous’s article and related reports in the Israeli press: “[A}s the spy stories demonstrated, one thing is clear enough. Whatever he says before the cameras next week when he meets with Netanyahu, Obama has no intention of letting bygones be bygones.” Glick’s column adds the Israeli side of the story to Entous’s column and Carmon’s post. All are must reading.

According to the report, the administration was infuriated that through its spy operations against Iran, Israel discovered the talks and the government asked the White House to tell it what was going on.
"Infuriated" by the success of Israeli intelligence efforts, or any other successful Israeli effort for that matter. Sort of follows the Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan trains of logic now doesn't it.
Should we suspect a pattern, a bias, or political theme ?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
